2022 NASCAR Cup Series - EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix
NASCAR returns to Circuit of the Americas for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, putting the Next Gen machines to the real test as the drivers brace for right-turning scenarios while surviving their way to the very end of this challenging NASCAR race.
As the green flag waved, the NASCAR action in COTA kicked off. As Daniel Suarez dominated Stage 1, Stage 2 showcases the true nature of this race as Suarez faces a bad day when he gets turned and in need of a tire change. With Denny Hamlin winning Stage 2, this is COTA at its thrilling peak in the final stage with Joey Logano's save, a spin by Austin Cindric, and the climax no one saw it coming.

F1 2022: STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
Despite national security concerns due to ongoing armed conflicts in neighboring Yemen, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix of the F1 2022 season went on as planned, and with Sergio Perez becoming the first Mexican to score a pole position, looks like this race is everyone's guess, even without Sebastian Vettel in the grid due to COVID.
As the lights out, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is on. With a lap passed, the second lap saw some bold moves from Lando Norris as he slip past Pierre Gasly for the 10th spot while Lap four saw George Russell in the offense. As the action heats up, disaster fills in Lap 16 as Nicolas Latifi crashed through the barriers exiting the final corner, triggering the safety car. As the race resumes on Lap 21, things get even more interesting for the drivers until Lap 36 saw Fernando Alonso out of the race when his car is experiencing a power failure. As the race draws to a climax, it's a two-way fight between Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen.
